What Do Men Dress For.

New York World.
A woman gets in a good return shot
at the male critics other sex's ''slayery
to fashion" in letter to conter-
porary. She takes up the confession
of gentleman that he has abandoned
the attempt to wear a flannel shirt to
town this whiting weather, and other
wise to conform his raiment to COM
Portable conditions, because be thereby
made himself the subject of unpleasant
observation and remark. In other
words the flannel shirt was not "sOod
FORM" and he had to give it up. The
woman thinks that the hackneyed OBJ
servation of men upon the servitude
of ladies to fashion may well be tenn
pered with modesty and charity after
such confession as this.
1t has been said that women dress
to please the men, but to pique and
challenge and delight each other.
The fannel-shirt episode naturally
suggests an inquiry whom do you
dress for? Stiff linen shirts, close
fitting business suits and "stoye-pipe"
hats are assuredly not chosen for the
wearer's own comfort such weather as
we have had this summer. They are
not worn to town to please the fastiG-
ious taste of the ladies, for business
and professional men meet very few
ladies during business hours, and there
is no proof that the women approve Of
inappropriate male costuming. Can
it be that men array themselves thus
ALPHABETICALLY and uncomfortably
in order to satisfy the whims of the
Moloch fashion? Do they dress for
each other, when every one of them
rebels at the custom? If so, there is
a call for some resolute spirit to start
a movement to emancipate the alleged
sterner sex" from slavery to sense
less fashion. As it seems settled that
we are to have tropical weather, why
should we not have tropical raiment :

ROck-MallOrY.

A quiet, although exceedingly
pleasant wedding, took place this
morning at 8 o'clock, at the Calvary
church, the parties to the contract
being Miss Sadie Rock, a well-known
and accomplished lady of the firm
of Whitehead & Co., and Mr.. James
w. Mallory, one of the most popular
passenger conductors of the NJ. X. 81
T. railroad. There we're only about a
dozen intimate friends of the parties
present at the ceremoney, which
was pronounced by Rev. Wilkins in
the most beautiful and impressive
manner, but these report that both
bride and groom looked ex-
ceedingly handsome. The bride wore
a costume of caster colored cloth.
with beautiful wide brimmed hat of
the same shade trimmed with pigeon
wings to harmonic. The parasol,
gloves and fan also matched the dress.
There were no attendants and directly
after the ceremony the newly married
Mr.. and Mrs, Mallory left on the East
bound train for st. Louis, Chicago,
Niagra Falls, Thousand Isles, Mon
treal Canada, New York city and other
points in the East. They will be
absent about a month and return here
and occupy beautifully fitted up suite
of rooms at the corner of Fourth and
Kentucky streets. Miss Rock was
formerly of Mt. Pleasant, To-, and her
friends at that point will join the
BAzoo and friends in this city, of both
parties, in wishing the bride and her
husband life of prosperity and hap.

THE ART HALL COMPLETED.
Everybody Invited to Bring
Works of Art and Place
On ExhibitiOn-A
Grand Success.

The fair association held a meeting
this afternoon at 2 o'clock, and dis,
cussed various matters of importance:
The art hail has now been completed,
and presents handsome appearance.
The association desires to apprise the
people of Sedalia and Pettis county
at large that they are requested
to place on exhibition any
art work they may have in the
way of pictures or otherwise. There
will be no difficulty experienced this
year in showing the pictures off to a
good advantage, as the hall has been
supplied with a large skylight. Here
tofore trouble has existed from the
pictures being placed in dark posi-
ton making it a difficult matter to
view them with any accuracy.
No danger reed be feared from any
art work being soiled as the manage
ment will guard the work with all due
caution. Each day adds something
new in the way of attractions for the
coming State Fair and the BAzoo will
use every endeavor within its power
to help make the fair greater success
than ever before.

Death of Luke Shock.

Luke Shock, a young man who is
well-known in this city, he having
been for the past five or six years a
clerk at Geo. Kahrs' grocery, died at
his home, No. 1872 Kentucky street,
last night, al $50 o'clock, of typhoid
malarial fever. He was but
eighteen years of age and the
only son of a widowed mother,
whose help and almost support he
was, and he leaves large number of
friends to mourn his loss. A consoling
incident of his demise is, that the day
before, he asked his mother to read to
him the 23d Psalm, beginning, "The
Lord is my shepherd, ETC." and after
listening attentively, said he believed
he would die, but that the Lord
would be the Shepherd who would
care for his mother and not to grieve
for him." He was convert
under the ministration of Evangelist
Cole, and was a devoted member of
the Methodist church. His funeral
will take place this afternoon at 3
o'clock, from the German Methodist
church, Revs: Jump and Figginbaum
officiating. The pail bearers will be
members of hi Sabbath school class,
under the care of MIR. Maxon.

pecially, colored man who gave the

''but jedge, / want to plead for

A Fact Hard To Get Around

Globe-Democrat.
However it may be with the
knights of Labor in the country at
large, it is certain that their strength
is not nearly so great in Rhode Island
as it was q year ago /; and, what is
still more significant, this loss is clear
ly due to organized self protection on
the part of the manufacturers of that
state. The situation is said to be the
same in Massachusetts,, where the en-
ployers have pursued similar policy.
Evidently, when organized labor and
organized capital come in contact, the
latter has decided advantage, even
without resorting to lockouts or other
arbitrary measures and it is to be
hoped that the lesson will be duly
needed by those who have too often
acted upon the opposite theory. In
the very nature of things, when en-
ployes combine for the purpose of die
tating terms to employers, it must be
expected that the employers will COM
bine for the purpose of resistance and
experience proves that in such case
labor is far more likely to lose than to
gain.

who brought them there or who burnt
the machine. w. d. Steele appeared

THE CONTRACT AWARDED.
Evidence of a Combine, Causes
The County Court To
Award the Contract by
Public Cutlery.

The Kingman Bridge company of
Cincinnati, was yesterday awarded
the contract for constructing three
bridges in Pettis county. The price
agreed upon was 1925. Two months
ago the county court advertised for
bids for this work and parties from
Leavenworth, Toledo and several
other cities responded. When the
bids were opened it was found that
all were about the same, with the ex-
ception of one, which was s15, 900.
There was evidence of a combine and
the county court refused to accept
any of the bids and ordered them let
at public cutlery.

WANTS A DIVORCE.
Claiming Inhuman Treatment
as the Cause.

Yesterday Mrs. Emma j. Baldwin,
through her attorney, Mr.. George NJ.
Baldwin, entered plea for a divorce
from her husband, John M. Baldwin,
of Dresden, popular business man
of that city. She asserts that he has
treated her in cruel and inhuman
manner, and heaped upon her words
unbearable. She states in her petit
ton that she has always been good
and true wife, and asks for the re-
turn of 81, 100 given to her husband
at the time of their marriage. Her
maiden name, Miss Emma j. De Hav-
en-, she asks the court to permit her to
assume.
Mr.. BALDWIN's STATEMENT.
In regard to the above allegation
Mr.. Balwin stated this morning to a
BAzoo reporter that they were false
in every respect. He states that bis
wife, during part of the time he
was engaged in the grocery business,
would 90 into the store next door and
purchase articles and in various ways
would commit acts for the sole pur-
pose of annoying him. Her brother
ir-law was indebted to Mr.. Baldwin
to the extent of $500, which sum she
used every endeavor to prohibit him
from paying, and acknowledged that
she was using all her power to ruin
him financially. Mr.. Baldwin is
well-known throughout the county and
has the name of being one of Pettis
county's best citizens. He was del
egate TO the state congressional and
judicial conventions during the cam
paign of "a, and is greatly depressed
over his unavoidable misfortune.
About one week ago his wife come to
him and asked for permission to live
with him, but Mr.. Baldwin refused
to listen to her pleadings
and drove her away, saying that
her conduct had been so cruel to
his little girl that he could not enter
tain the proposition a moment. She
stated then that if he would not admit
her she would burn the house and
every d. thing in it. Mr.. Baldwin
was in the city to-day and employed
council for the coming trial, and will
fight the case to the bitter end. He
has large number of warm and SYM
pathizing friends in Sedalia and
vicinity.

Chicago National.
The skipper of a canal boat on the
Illinois and Michigan canal recently
decided after mature deliberation and
careful consideration, to marry his
cook, a right smart, energetic and not
wholly bad looking Celt, who had
been a tried and faithful servant for
him for quite number of his perilous
trips on the storm dashed canal. So
he spoke to her about the matter one
day, and after securing her consent he
ordered the boat tied up at the wharf
of Joliet, and being practical skipper
skipped up the street after parson.
The nuptial knot was soon tied, the
parson beaten down to ST. so for his
fee, and then the canal boatman said:
"Well Melindy, we are married
fur keeps now. We are hitched fur
life and must pull together. Pm 8
little short handed to day. and as
that lead mule has got saddle gals on
his back you just take the tOwpath
and lead him down to Lockport, and
I'll steer and kinder ruminate or some
plan to give you work on the boat
without going ashore in mud. I've
got a powerful sight more respect for
you now that you're my wife, Melindy.

LABOR NOTES.

The Labor holiday inaugurated
by the Knights will be much more
generally observed this year that it
was last, aud especially in the western
states, where there appears to be a
more progressive spirit.
"A 100000 company will pipe
artificial gas from the coal fields of
Illinois to st. Louis, a distance of
eleven miles. About three-fourths of
the cost of coal is freight. A ton of
coal will produce 10000 feet of
gas.
The progress of electrical science
and the application of electricity to
the common uses of life, of course,
render it necessary to have a large
body of trained experts. For some
time to come there will doubtless be
plenty of work and good pay In the
new business.
Many of the labor-saving inven-
tons and discoveries of the age in
stead of throwing men out of employ.
ment widen the field and afford OPP
portunities not thought Of before.
Sometimes a new occupation or pro-
fession is called into existence, like
that of electrical engineering, giving
employment to thousands of trained
inteilects, as well as thousands of
skillful hands.
